PEG-CUTTING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 369,966, datedSeptember 13, 1887.

Application filed June 25, 1887.

T0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEON DEGAR SoHooN- OVER, of Woodhull, in the countyof Steuben and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Peg-Cutting Machines; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in pegging and finishingboots or shoes; and it has for its object to provide a machine forshoe-makers use, whereby the operation of hand-pegging may be renderedmore convenient and less laborious than as now prac ticed, and provisionmay be made for rapidly cutting and dressing the inner ends of the pegs,when driven through the shoe, so as to insure a comfortable bearing forthe sole of the foot, as more fully hereinafter specified.

The above-mentioned objects I attain by the \a means illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective viewof my improved machine complete. Fig. 2 rep resents a top view of mymachine, showing a portion broken away, and the boot or shoe supportused when driving the pegs opened out. Fig. 3 represents a verticaltransverse view of the machine, taken on the line a: at of Fig. 1; andFig. 4 is a similar view taken on the line 1 y of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings by letter, A indicates a frame constructed ofsuitable material, preferably of cast iron, and which is designed tosupport the bearings for the working parts of the machinery.

The letter B indicates the main drivingshaft, which is j ournaled inbearings O in the frame, and is provided with a gear-Wheel, D, whichmeshes with a pinion, E, on a shaft, F, jonrnaled in bearings Gin theframe A. The

said shaft projects at one side of the frame,

and upon its projecting end is mounted a balance or fly wheel whichgives a uniform motion to the parts when in operation. The shaft B isformed with a crank, b, which is con- Serial No. 242,403. (No model.)

nected by a pitman, c, to the treadle (Z on the rock-shaft H, by whichthe machinery may beput in motion.

The letter L indicates a vertical spindle running in bearings e e in theframe A, the said spindle at its upper end being provided with a socket,k, adapted to receive a rotary peg cutter or float, m, having oppositeedges to cut in either direction, for the purpose of cutting anddressing the inner ends of the pegs at the heel of the boot or shoe.Near its lower end the said spindle is provided with a beveled pinion,M, which gears with a beveled cogwhee], N, on the shaft F, whereby thespindle L receives its motion. To the shaft F is also secured acog-wheel, P, which meshes with a pinion, R, on a shaft, S, journaled insuitable bearings in the frame. The said shaft at one end is providedwith a crank-arm, T, and wrist-pin t, the latter travelingin atransverse slot in a reciprocating slide, U, running in vertical ways inthe frame A. The said slide carries a vertical rod, L, extending abovethe top of the machine, the said rod being provided with, a socketedthimble, t, for the reception of the shank of the reciprocating pegfloatW, which is held in place by a set-screw,X.

The letter Y indicates a horizontal arm, hinged at one end to the frameA and carrying at the other a vertical leg, Z, having at its upper end asocket, j, for the reception of the shank of a pegging-anvil, A. Thesaid leg has secured to it one end of a segment, B, which works througha guide, 0, so that the leg may be folded in and out and still beadequately supported.

The operation of the machine is as follows: By operating the treadledthe shaft B will be revolved, and through the medium of the wheel D andpinion E the shaft F will be revolved, which, through the medium of thebeveled gears M and N, will impart a rotary movement to the spindle Land the peg cutter or float at its upper end. At the same time the shaftS will be revolved through the medium of the cog-wheels P and R, and bymeans of the crank-arm T and wrist-pin t a vertical reciprocating motionwill be imparted to the slide U, rod L, and peg cutter or float W.

It will readily be seen that by means of this machine the operation ofcutting and dressing the inner ends of the pegs, which are driventhrough the shoe, will be accomplished with the expenditure of verylittle time and labor.

The sockets i, j, and 7c, respectively, can be used for the reception ofother tools, as may be necessary.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, anddesire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. A peg-cutting machine consisting of the main frame, the drivingcrank-shaft. its pitman and treadle, the fly-wheel shaft and connectinggearing, a vertical spindle having a beveled gear engaging with abeveled gear on the fly-wheel shaft, the spindle carrying atits upperend a rotary peg-cutter, the crank-shaft S, geanwheels Pand R, and thereciprocating slide U, said slide carrying at its upper end areciprocating peg-cutter, all arranged and operating substantially asspecified.

2. In a peg-cutting machine, the combination, with the driving-shaft,the fly-wheel shaft,

and their connecting gearing, of the crankshaft S, gear-wheels P and R,and reciprocating slide U, the said slide carrying a vertical rodsocketed at its upper end for the reception 1 In testimony that I claimthe foregoing as my oWuI affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
